Viera can be different from Miqo'te.

If FFXI didn't have playable beastmen then don't expect it also in FFXIV.

To be fair, FFXI's races were more diverse to the point where I'm sure most were fine with it (though if you wanted to change appearance, there was always the costumes). Hume's were humans, Elvaans were elves, Tarutaru's were onions (though Lalafells can look like HD versions of them), Mithra were slightly more feral in most of their stances (hunched and ready to pounce. More cat-like faces, too) and Galka had massive arms, tails, short legs... basically, adorable.

Snip.

You can say the same for FFXIV's races, except for the Mithra being more "feral" and Galka having tails. Are you implying that Elezen aren't elves but humans with elf ears? Because that's what basically an elf is.
It's actually pretty funny that you mention Tarus being onions while Lalas are often called potatoes.

Viera, are more Elezen with bunny ears, just saying.

[Ghastly]

Aura are hyur/elezen with horns? Are we learning new things here?

Roegadyns are big lalafells with muscles

Yeah, you big meanie. You Hyur reject, fake japanese looking, weird dancing, promotional money grabbing, non-existent backstory driven, miqote ripoff, Yoshi P...-ing, emo dragon lady. X(

Taller, better proportioned, clawed hands and feet, unique noses and unique foot shape Elezen, yeah.

While I am delicious looking, I am in no way related to popotoes!

I call them onions because of the Star Onions (also their hairstyle options). As for Elezen,they used to be their own thing, but then the male Au Ra came along and kinda shared their silhouette (much like how the female Au Ra share a sillhouette with Miqo'te. This was, or rather, still is my main dislike towards Au Ra and why I'm against the Viera. The female Viera will probably share a similar silhouette with the female Roegadyn, while the males will probably be a taller Miqo'te male silhouette.. Only difference being rabbit ears -and the lack of a tail). Roegadyn and Lalafells are currently the only races in XIV that look nothing like the others.
